In the end, everyone naturally came in high spirits and returned in disappointment.
The young princess ran into the palace excitedly and told the empress about her experience today.
"Sister Water Empress, let me tell you something fun!”
"Today, I went with Lin Beifan to receive the envoy from Doro Country. Do you know what Lin Beifan did?”
"He invited her to Liang's breakfast shop for breakfast, then invited her to Liang's breakfast shop for lunch, and at night, he even invited her to a lousy restaurant for a big pot of rice and rice wine!”
"Oh my god, he spent less than 50 taels and sent them away!”
"During dinner, we even invited the funeral team over to play the suona and dance the soul-summoning dance! He had already come out even though he was not dead, almost scaring the envoys out of their wits! Hehe…"
"In the end, he even invited a group of fat, old, and ugly women to accompany him!”
"Sister Empress, do you know how Lin Beifan tricked the envoy? He…He actually said that our Dawu Empire regards fat as beauty and old as respect. He fooled the envoys!”
"I'm dying of laughter today, hehe…"
The empress was stunned after hearing that.”
The young princess held her stomach and laughed." It's even worse. There are still many things I haven't said!" Hehe…"
"My goodness!" The empress held her forehead in exhaustion.
She had never expected Lin Beifan to be so reckless!
He actually used such a heinous method to treat a foreign envoy. What would happen if word got out?
Even if you want to be greedy, you shouldn't be so greedy, right?
At least let him have a good meal!
She felt sad for the envoy of Doro Country.
This was not a small matter!
If it was not handled well, it would directly affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries and they might fight again!
And Lin Beifan might be impeached because of this.
"Yunying, help me keep an eye on him. Don't let him mess around again!”
"Sister Water Empress, don't worry. I will definitely keep an eye on him!”
On the other side, at the Courier Station.
Prince Hamu and the others had already returned with ugly expressions.
Originally, their country had lost, so they were already in a bad mood.
It wasn't easy for him to go on a trip overseas to relax and relieve his depressed mood, but he was being teased by a small official.
If not for their self-restraint, they would have gone crazy on the spot.
Prince Ha Mu had already made up his mind. When he saw the empress again, he would definitely report Lin Beifan.
At this moment, a person walked in and cupped his hands respectfully."Your Highness, I've already investigated the matter you asked me to investigate! Among all the officials, the one with the greatest power is…"
The other party read out a long list of names and their official positions.
Prince Hamu frowned. They had been officials for decades and were extremely shrewd. It was not easy to bribe them!”
The most important purpose of their trip was to negotiate and discuss the compensation.
As a defeated country, they had to pay compensation. Of course, the less they paid, the better.
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, they planned to bribe one or two important officials to speak up for them.
"Are there any other candidates?" Prince Hamu asked.
"Yes! The new top scorer, the directorate's director, Lin Beifan!”
"It's actually him?" Prince Ha Mu's frown deepened, and a sense of disgust welled up in his heart.
"Your Highness, the new top scorer, the director-general, Lin Beifan, is very doted on by the empress!”
"Ever since he became the top scorer in high school, he has been promoted by half a rank in less than a month! The empress rewarded him with a luxurious mansion, tens of thousands of taels of silver, dozens of silks and satins, dozens of jars of fine wine from the palace, daily food supplies for the imperial kitchen, a top-grade carriage, several Ferghana horses…"
Prince Hamu's eyelids twitched.
He had been rewarded too much!
Even if he was the prince of a country, the rewards he received in his life could not compare to what Lin Beifan had gained in the past few days!
He was actually defeated by a mere sixth-grade Sesame Official!
"He received so many rewards. He should be very capable, right?”Prince Hamu said enviously.
"Your Highness, because Lin Beifan has only been an official for a short time, his ability has not been fully displayed yet! However, the other party was so young, yet he managed to hit three targets in a row in three years. He was already extraordinary!”
"Yes!" Prince Hamu nodded.
Thinking back to the morning court session yesterday, the other party had easily seen through his tricks. He knew that this person was not simple.
"In addition, Lin Beifan has another characteristic, and that is greed!”
"Greedy?" The prince was stunned.
"He's very greedy! Rumors had it that he had already plundered more than two million taels of silver twice! During his tenure as the directorate, he embezzled another two million taels from the students!”
"According to our informant, the other party received 200,000 yuan from the Ministry of Revenue as a reception fee! On this day, he only took out less than a hundred taels of silver! The rest had probably been taken away by him!”
Recalling his experience today, Prince Hamu's mouth twitched.""He's indeed very greedy, and insatiable!”
However, at this moment, he felt that Lin Beifan was so pleasing to the eye.
"We have limited money, so let's choose Lin Beifan!”
"Firstly, this fellow is favored by the empress and his words carry weight. Secondly, they were very greedy and easy to bribe. Third, he's entertaining us and is easy to get close to. He's the best target!”
"As long as we bribe him, it will be very beneficial for the negotiations in a few days!”Prince Hamu said confidently.
"Your Highness is right!"
